Why Compare Marketplace Fees?
Hidden Fees Add Up
A 15% commission on every sale means you need 18% more revenue just to match selling directly. Know before you list.
Platform-by-Platform
Jumia, Konga, Takealot, Kilimall — each has a different fee structure. One comparison beats hours of reading fine print.
Category Matters
Electronics attract different commissions than fashion or beauty. This tool accounts for category-specific rates.
Payout Timing
Cash flow matters. Know which platforms pay next day vs. 30 days — critical when you have stock to reorder.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which African marketplace has the lowest fees?
Jiji, Instagram Shop, WhatsApp Business, and TikTok Shop all charge 0% commission — but they lack built-in logistics and buyer protection. For managed marketplaces, Konga charges approximately 5% while Jumia ranges from 5–15% depending on category. Takealot in South Africa can charge 8–20%.
Does Jumia charge differently per product category?
Yes. Jumia Nigeria and Jumia Kenya both use tiered commission rates by category. Electronics (phones, laptops) typically attract 5–8%, while fashion and beauty can reach 12–15%. This tool uses category-specific estimates — always verify current rates directly with Jumia's seller portal before listing.
What's the difference between listing fee, commission, and payment fee?
A listing fee is charged upfront to publish your product. Commission (or success fee) is a percentage deducted from each sale. Payment processing fee covers the cost of moving money from buyer to platform. Most platforms combine all three — this tool shows the total deduction on every sale.
Should I sell on multiple platforms at once?
Multi-channel selling increases visibility but adds complexity. Use this tool to identify your 2–3 best platforms by net payout, then test with a small product catalogue before expanding. Platforms like Jiji or Instagram for traffic and Jumia or Konga for managed fulfilment make a common combination for Nigerian sellers.
